Alpha School is transforming early childhood education through a combination of innovative technology and proven instructional methods. In this role, you will guide Kindergarten through 2nd-grade (K-2) students as they develop independence, curiosity, and essential academic skills.

Our approach centers on the 2-Hour Learning program, which combines AI-powered adaptive software with direct, hands-on instruction in foundational literacy and writing. While students engage with personalized digital learning tools, you will provide the critical human element—delivering expert guidance in reading and writing based on research-backed educational methods. This model ensures that young learners advance academically while building the social and emotional competencies they need to thrive.

Alpha offers a professional environment where educators receive competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and meaningful opportunities for career advancement. If you are committed to the future of education and skilled at connecting with young learners, this role provides a unique opportunity to make a measurable impact.

What you will be doing

  • Guiding students in setting and reaching personal learning goals, helping them develop as self-directed learners.
  • Delivering focused instruction in social-emotional development and early literacy, with support from Reading Specialists.
  • Creating a classroom culture that nurtures curiosity and resilience through hands-on, interactive learning activities.
  • Integrating AI-driven educational tools to improve student outcomes and prepare learners for a technology-enhanced future.
  • Working closely with educators and counselors to tailor instruction to each student's learning style and individual needs.

What you will NOT be doing

🚫 Depending exclusively on conventional teaching practices without incorporating modern educational technology.

🚫 Applying standardized, uniform instruction—at Alpha, personalized learning and student individuality are core priorities.

🚫 Prioritizing academic content at the expense of social and emotional growth.

Key responsibilities

💡 Lead the cultivation of independent learning habits and essential life skills for students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade, establishing a foundation for both academic achievement and personal development.

  • A bachelor's degree in any discipline.
  • A minimum of 3 years of experience working with children ages 4 - 8 years old in educational, afterschool, sports, or similar environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to apply growth mindset principles and high-performance coaching techniques.
